And how close were they at dethroning Unbelievable?
Devs – 4 nominations including cinematography and sound.
Hollywood – 12 nominations including 4 for acting
Normal People – 4 nominations including for acting, writing and directingReplyFYC:
"The Good Fight", "The Other Two" and "Station Eleven" in all categories, Sarah Lancashire ("Julia"), William Jackson Harper ("Love Life") and Luke Kirby ("The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel")
July 29, 2020 at 12:37 pm #1203612932I think Normal People was sixth in Series and Actor in the same way A Very English Scandal was probably sixth in Series last year.

July 29, 2020 at 12:49 pm #1203612988Normal People and A Very English Scandal had no below-the-line support. They are the kind of show that does better in the passion-based winners phase than the visibility-based nominating one that might favour Hollywood and True Detective.

Normal People had all that and with the help of the British bloc, it was most likely sixth.

July 29, 2020 at 1:04 pm #1203613074Just remembered that Unbelievable missed lead and directing (and everything voted on by below-the-line people exclusively), so Normal People actually has more justification for a series nomination. Even Little Fires Everywhere missed casting with the Lynn Shelton-supporting directors voting (and writing obviously). I suppose that there is significant merit to the argument that Hollywood was just never in contention.

The fact that Normal People got into Casting for more or less having to cast two people really well is exactly like how The Two Popes got into Casting at the BAFTAs.
BTW what are you now predicting for Drama Casting?

July 29, 2020 at 1:46 pm #1203613258I guess Succession because I tentatively have it for series? The Crown did better in directing than expected though.

This is what I’m thinking.
If The Crown or Ozark wins Casting we have a clear runner up in Series and a clear threat to Succession for Directing.
